It's been said a million times. Just wall off the city and let the residents do whatever they feel they need to do. If they turn it into a shining city of gold, awesome. If it turns into a smoldering rubble heap, awesome.

With all of the shit that has happened in Detroit over the past decade how can people not see they have become the joke of the area, the state, and the nation?

It sucks because my step sister has a loft right downtown and it is amazing! I have so much fun everytime I go because there is always something cool going on in the city. But then you have the fucking low lifes and morons that give Detroit a bad name. The lazy people that just expect a handout and dont want to work for anything are ruining our city!!!!!

I've defended Detroit for a long time, I like walking around downtown, and the majority of the people in Detroit I've had business with were decent folks.

But seriously- this is ridiculous. Cut them off. They don't want help, don't help them. No more state and Fed money. Let it sink. Too bad the rest on Michigan is tied so tightly to Detroit that it will drag the whole state down with it.

This sure says a lot about the people of Detroit and how ignorant and short sighted they are.

What exactly did this guy think that statement would do?

A.) Its "your" city and the only people living there are "you". Why do I give any fucks if you burn it down?
B.) We have suggested the city be burned to the ground for years. Do you realize you would be doing us a great service by finally setting it ablaze?

Chad is sooooo right. This is a great example of why Detroit is unsavable. No matter how many businesses move down there or how many billions of dollars are pumped into restoring old buildings that city is a lost cause because the mindset of it's residents is something that can't be fixed.
